Community Projects

St George Youth Services has just finished running a local project in St George as part of the NSW government's Better Futures South East Sydney Regional Plan.

The project has just finalised a research project on the needs of children and young people aged 8-14 for after-school activities.

Another element of the Better Futures project, for which St George Youth Services was the auspice body, is the regional Youth Participation Project, which aimed to improve opportunities for local young people to play a role in their communities and the services they use. 28 Youth Leaders were recruited and trained in Youth Leadership, and facilitated workshops with adults and services. They are now available to assist with group facilitation and projects in the South East Region.
